Season’s Greetings

Hello SPI enthusiasts and general web-lurkers alike, I’m glad to bring you my first post! Now done with finals, I finally saw “I Am Legend” this evening. Despite my preconceived notions of any Will Smith performance as Bel-Air-ish, it was actually very existential. In fact, it got me thinking about the bigger picture that transcends the silver screen: trying to survive the day-to-day while somehow staying connected to what makes us human. In one way or another, we all can relate to this. For me, surviving finals week always makes it hard to keep up with the music, art and other things that make me feel human. But with winter break lifting that pressure off my shoulders and my work at SPI underway, things are good.

IN SHORT, “I Am Legend” helped put things in perspective for me and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with Seattle this winter. Hope to hear from you guys in the future and, in the meantime, happy holidays!
